Store Management System (SMS)

SMS is a great deal more than just a point of sale system. It also handles all store back office functions and communicates directly with the RMS Head Office system – in real time if required. The system has been used in stores since 1997 and there are thousands of registers running SMS for a diverse range of retailers.

From a technical perspective, SMS is a Windows-based, distributed client/server POS system featuring an easy-to-use “ATM-like” interface that runs on touch-screen terminals, NCR Dynakey retail terminals, or on a standard PC screen. Object-oriented technology is used for high reliability and ease of maintenance. The user interface in SMS is one of the key competitive advantages. It is a third-generation, intuitive interface, which converts generic computers into purpose-specific equipment. Keyboard use is minimal and a mouse is not needed at all. As a result cashier training and re-training are practically eliminated and operator errors are minimized. RMS and SMS are completely integrated, but can also be used independently.

SalesCube ®

SalesCube ® is an easy-to-use Head Office retail sales, profit, and stock performance analysis tool. It is an extremely powerful OLAP Management Information System that can generate over a thousand enquiries and reports. Retailers use SalesCube® to view sales, gross profit and stock information by product (or product group), by week (or by trading period), or by store (or group of stores) on a single easy-to-use Windows screen.

SalesCube ® allows for graphical data presentation, including Quadrant Analysis, which is an essential tool for Category Management.

The information is stored in the data warehouse as a series of data cubes, which are automatically updated by RMS as it processes sales and stock transactions.


BudgetCube ®

A companion to SalesCube ® , BudgetCube ® produces weekly comparison sales and gross profit budgets, by store and category, based on SalesCube ® data. BudgetCube® is also integrated with RMS to provide sales forecasts for Merchandise Planning. Retailers use BudgetCube ® to create weekly sales and gross profit budgets by department (or category) and by store. These budgets can be linked so that a change to one affects the others.
